About the Alligator
An alligator is a large reptile that is found in swamps and rivers in the southeastern United States. Alligators have a tough, scaly skin, and sharp teeth, and they are powerful swimmers.
They use their powerful jaws to catch and eat fish, birds, and other animals.
Alligators are sometimes dangerous to humans, so it’s important to stay away from them and always be careful when swimming in their habitats.
